5 Ways to Wear Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are a reliable denim style that can work for so many different occasions. From full days spent at the mall to evening parent-teacher conferences, slim denim jeans are a closet staple that keeps your legs looking great at any stage in life. Explore five ways to wear skinny pants and discover how to get the most out of this never-fail fashion staple. Whether you’re at school, work, or out and about, they serve as a great foundation for generating the best outfit ideas. Stumped on where to start? Let’s begin with a few basics.

What size should I buy?

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not necessary to drop down or go up a size when picking out a new pair of skinny jeans. Skinnies should be true to size! Keep in mind, it’s best not to have them in the dryer for too long since shrinking can occur.

How do you wear skinny jeans?

Skinny jeans are so versatile that they can be dressed in multiple ways, no matter what your unique style preferences are. They’re a surefire power player in any Windsor girl’s closet, and you won’t want your wardrobe to be without them. Skinny pants always pair well with blouses, blazers, chic jackets, booties, heels, and platforms for head-turning looks. Add a pop of fun with tassel earrings or a statement necklace, and you’re well on your way to making the pages of a street style blog.

How should skinny jeans look around the ankle?

When you pick the right length and fit for you, skinny jeans should hit right at the ankle and just above your feet. If you’re on the petite side and your bottoms bunch up a little too much around the ankles, you can get them hemmed or, for the free and fast option, cuff them up for a quick fix that still looks trendy.

Now, it’s time to get the skinny on the best ways to wear these slim-fitting jeans!

1) The Skinny on School & Work Attire

Skinny jeans are comfortable must-haves that convey a laid-back yet put together look that works perfectly for almost any environment with a casual dress code. They’re versatile and offer so many different styles, anyone can find their perfect pair to wear. Jeans in a medium wash with a long or short sleeved blouse go a long way. But avoid crop top styles in the classroom and at the office. Pair your bottoms with heels or booties and a statement necklace to cultivate a look that’s truly unstoppable.

2) The Skinny on Clubbing Clothes

Looking to go big? Flaunt your form-fitting skinny jeans at the club that will have you looking your absolute hottest on the dance floor. Dark blue or black skinny jeans are especially essential for club-hopping velvet-rope styles. You can never go wrong at the club with a skin-baring crop tops or a sultry lace bodysuit. Pair platform heels and layer on bangle bracelets to go with your form-fitting pants. This is a confident ensemble that screams sexy and confident. A belt always helps you pull your most ambitious looks together. Make your outfit pop in snake print, leather or double o-ring belts that top it all off.

3) The Skinny on Date Night & Night Out Outfits

Whether you’re meeting up with your girls at a bar, going out to dinner with that special someone, or connecting with a new prospect on a first date, you can amplify your favorite pair of frayed skinny jeans by zeroing in on the right fashions. A white button-up top, block heels, and hoop earrings will dress up your favorite pair of fitted skinnies and make your outfit pop. Want more? Pair your ensemble with a trench coat or zipped jacket to take it even further and make the best first impression when you step into the scene.

5) The Skinny on Day Events (to Replace Your Dress)

There’s nothing like fun-filled day events on your calendar to look forward to.

You might be attending a wine tasting, chilli cookoff, outdoor concert, street-festival, day party, mixer or conference, whatever the occasion, stylish high-waist denim can make all the difference.
